Saints celebrated on the 15th of May
SAINT DIMIDRIANUS, BISHOP OF VERONA
Saint Dimidrianus, a bishop of Verona, was considered a paragon of all virtues in his time. He died in A.D. 265, having presided over his bishopric for twenty-nine years. Some of his relics are still venerated in the Church of St Mary Magdalene there. The Proper of Verona, however, which the present Bishop Benedict Riccabona has kindly communicated to us, makes no mention of this St Dimidrianus.
